Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

@tyme thank you for closing my other discussion.

Im sorry if I triggered something in every one. Hope they are ok.

Me: i don't know how to be ok rn. But they put me into the psych ward for a few days. I want to go home, but know I needed it. I will get back on track, I just have to trust the process and lean on the support available to me.

Thank you for understanding @The-red-centaur .

I recognise how hard things are for you at the moment. I wish I could take the pain away from you.

Please know we care and we look forward to seeing you back on track and sharing your artistic talents.

I continue to be so proud of how far you have come. There may be some bumps along the way, but I believe in you. We'll get through this together.

@tyme thank you.

I thank you for the great work you do here. Your story is an inspiration, maybe that can be my reason too, to show that everything isn't always so dark, and the cracks of light can also show the way for others.

Things are hard. I can't deal with memories. It's too hard to communicate. I'm going offline for a while. Sorry.

@tyme thank you for asking.

Today marks a dark time in my life. At 17, when my world turned upside down and I survived my first attempt. At 20 From a coma. Etc.

I have been pushing memories of those things away, focusing on other things. But the past has a way of haunting me when I rest. He will be in my mind forever, his words seared into my soul, his actions and then the path I followed afterwards, leading me towards darkness.

@The-red-centaur , yet despite the pain, the hurt, the attempts, you have braved on. You have fought, You have pushed through, you have grown. This is what we look at. You are a powerful person and you have a lot going for you.

You know yourself how much you have grown over the years. Remember this.

Re: Red's house

@tyme thank you.

Recovery is never linear, but follows a forward trajectory.

I wasn't on much this week, I've been having to deal with some stuff at home. I'm so sore and tired this evening. I'll get through it, I just have to wait an hour or so for meds so I can sleep.
